I have looked forward each month to each installment of this series. Great job. Have been using Samba and configuring by manual adjustments within the smb.conf file. This article has helped me now look at my existing configuration (through SWAT) and understand the intent of SWAT.

Years back, the Samba/SWAT documentation was weak and confusing in some areas. I learned to adjust the configuration manually (if you will) and got Samba running to "get by". Now, with the help of these articles, I can greatly improve my security and understanding of Samba configuration settings.
